CLARITY Act Witness Last-Minute Hurdles

The US Senate is scheduled to vote at 2:15 p.m. ET on cloture on the motion to proceed to H.R. 3633. This is not a final vote to pass the CLARITY Act.

Invoking cloture takes 60 votes. Republicans hold 53 seats, so the bill needs support from Democratic Senators. Failure would likely sideline the CLARITY Act for the rest of this Congress, given the narrow window before midterms.

Democrats rejected Republicans’ crypto bill text due to ethics rules, causing crypto stocks to tumble. Senators Mark Warner and Elizabeth Warren claimed the language around ethics provisions and state AG power is vague. She added that they failed to cover President Trump or his family’s crypto interests adequately.

Meanwhile, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged passage, with Garlinghouse noting the Senate decision will affect midterm election vote.
